Since the emperor had not intervened in Fuyuchuan's funeral, more and more people came.The banquet bell did not turn away anyone, and the funeral was held beautifully and with great fanfare. It was not until seven days later that the funeral was considered completed and everyone began to disperse.

Shen Chi has already prepared his luggage, and Yu Xingzhi has also found a bodyguard, ready to accompany them all the way.

Before leaving, Shen Chi went to the Daxiongbaodian Temple to light everlasting lanterns for his parents and sister, and then asked the host to put their everlasting lanterns in their luggage and said, "I'm going to take them to Lingnan."

The host is naturally happy to receive a sum of money.But he also recognized Ning Shuo, and with a thought, he guessed who Shen Chi was.This person is not a nameless person now - he is really miserable.Therefore, he gritted his teeth and confiscated his incense money.

He smiled and said: "It should be the mercy of Buddha."

Shen Chi didn't insist, and he and Ning Shuo left holding the ever-burning lantern.

When they returned to Buyu Mansion, the pots and pans in the house had almost been packed away, and Mrs. Li and her people were delivering them to each house.This is to express gratitude.

People were coming and going, and the servants were doing their work quietly without making any noise, making the house look lively and deserted.

The two went to the kitchen, where the cook was crying and Mother Xu was comforting her.

In the past few days, the cook and Mrs. Xu have been working together. With each other's words, they have learned about each other's affairs. They found that the other party is a widow. Her husband died at a young age, she did not remarry, and she is still working hard. Having raised children, we are really in the same boat.Then they quickly became old sisters.

But compared to the cook, Mrs. Xu is much better.She only has one daughter, Guan Gui. Her daughter is filial and obedient, and she is really not angry at all.The cook was much more miserable. She gave birth to so many children, including three sons, who gave birth to sons again, and the number of grandchildren increased. She really needed money everywhere.

She cried: "You don't know that when the old man passed away, they didn't dare to come to pay homage, for fear of being implicated. Damn! Who the hell are they? They're not bullshit!"

"When he saw that nothing was wrong, he came back licking his face. Miss Sheng was kind and didn't drive them away. They actually wanted to stay here."

Xu's mother cursed: "It's really not a thing."

The cook sighed, "Yeah, I don't want to talk to them anymore. They are all like hungry wolves, staring at my little money. Before, the boss was still here and could give me some money, and they were willing to support me. , but now that the old man is gone and the money behind him is gone, and they see that I can’t get this yard, they start to yell at me, and my good son even helps his evil daughter-in-law to scold me for being old and immortal.”

Mother Xu comforted her and then asked: "Then what will you do in the future?"

Cook: "What else can I do? Take it one step at a time. I also want to go back to the countryside, but I am a woman and I am afraid of being bullied."

Xu's mother said: "My girl is kind-hearted. She told me before that if you are willing, she would like to ask you to guard my house."

The housekeepers, servants, and cooks left in Buyuchuan Mansion all have nowhere to go.Sheng Yanling had already thought about it. The Sheng family house bought by Sheng's father and mother for her still needed people to guard it. She also gave it to them according to the silver from Buyu Mansion, and she was settled.

She was busy with other things, so she asked Mother Xu to ask them if they wanted to go and if there was a good place to go. She was afraid that if she asked them herself, these people would be afraid of her and dare not tell the truth.

Mother Xu asked them one by one.The housekeeper refused. He actually had a family. He had bought a house in the suburbs of Beijing and had several grandchildren.I had been working in Buyu Mansion before because I couldn't worry about the boss.Now that he himself is old and has only a few years left, he naturally hopes to go home and reunite.

All that remained was a porter and a boy.

The boy said that he had saved a sum of money and wanted to start a business.Mr. Bu Yuchuan had long since released them from slavery.

The doorman had no idea and thought it would be a good idea to guard the Sheng family residence.

Only the cook was left.The cook was very happy and said happily: "This is really great. I am worried about having nowhere to go. I am worried about what else I can do with my old bones."

Talking and crying again.

Mother Xu sighed, "So, what's the use of having a son!" The cook also suddenly realized, "When I was young, I spent all my money on them, and I didn't dare to spend a penny. Now it's good, they They don’t want to spend a penny on me, and they want to sell my bones to get some money for a tooth ceremony.”

She scolded: "I shouldn't have been so nice to them a long time ago!"

"If I don't have children or grandchildren, these blessings will be mine."

Xu's mother agreed very much, "In the future, when my family Guan Gui gets married, I won't give her all my money. I will still keep some money for myself."

The two of them talked excitedly and were already thinking about how to save money for retirement, so that Ning Shuo and Shen Chi would not be able to go in again.They looked at each other and smiled, then turned the corner and went to the corridor.

Ning Shuo said: "The remaining truth may not come too soon, but you must live... When the truth comes out, I will write a letter to you personally."

But Shen Chi was already relieved and said: "In the past year or so, I have watched you and the boss working hard for this, and the hostility and hesitation in my heart has been reduced a lot."

He patted Ning Shuo on the shoulder and said, "You used to advise me that the dead are gone and don't live just for hatred. Now, I advise you too."

"You are you, the boss is the boss, Sui Boying is Sui Boying... You have to live for yourself, don't live for others."

Ning Shuo was moved and nodded solemnly, "I know it."

Shen Chi went to find Yu Xingzhi again.He lamented: "The world is constantly changing, and no one knows what will happen in the future. I advised Ah Shuo to live for himself because he has too many moral principles in his heart, and I'm afraid he can't see clearly what he wants."

"But you, I want to advise you on the contrary. With your temperament, you cannot live by yourself. You are too paranoid and not broad-minded. It is easy to embark on a path of depression. In this case, why not Just live for your favorite girl Mo."

"She is kind and courteous, has a tough mind, and has her own views on the world. She is like the bright moon in the sky, walking the right path."

"In that case, just follow her footsteps. One day, she will look back at you. If she doesn't look back and you move forward, you may encounter other scenery on the road."

"It's good if you can wait to come back, but if you can't, you won't lose."

He murmured: "You young people are always trapped by love when you are young, but you don't know that when things come and go in the end, love is the easiest thing to disappear."

Yu Xingzhi stood up and thanked him.

On the day Shen Chi set out, Feng Ling gave him a black umbrella and a glazed lamp.

She said: "In our Lingnan, if you want to report a funeral, you have to hold a black umbrella."

"It rains a lot in Lingnan. We care about the deceased who have been caught in the rain, and we will burn an umbrella for them so that they can go out on rainy days."

"This umbrella, after you bury the old man, just burn it on his grave."

Shen Chi nodded and took note, looked at the glazed lamp again, and said hesitantly: "I seem to have seen this lamp somewhere before."

Feast Bell: "This is the lamp left by my husband."

She glanced at Ning Shuo and said with a smile: "I always feel that this lamp has a good meaning, so I want to bring it to the old gentleman."
